Draft Grade — Packers

Grand theft in No. 250: the Packers steal Gadsden II and grade out a C.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Oronde Gadsden II, the No. 142 name on the board, sitting there at the 250th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

Every board in the league had Badger lower, and that gap is the story. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at the 23rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Value said wait; Jared Ivey in slot 54 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jayden Higgins at the 87th overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick 122 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at No. 196 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger in pick No. 237 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 250th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
They read the board right and Maxen Hook was the payoff at pick 251. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick252 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They paid up for Garrett Dellinger at No. 252 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
A wild overpay on Cooper Mays in slot 254, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
